gee:
I wonder why long tubes & some short tube headers,no matter What Brand on certain engines use oil & some don't ?? Why did Ford not make Cobra's in 2002 ?? Where i work people in the install department say 2003 Cobra's don't have issue's with any long tube headers or t/bodies,air systems,
h-pipes,xpipes,or prochambers! How many recalls did ford have on 4v motors on Cobra's before 2003 models? Bad intakes,did not make advertized H.P.
why different EGR's on mod motor,s? Does Mac get the blame because thier perceived to be the largest and have more exhaust on cobra's? Our installers say all brands have the same problems on certain engines!
Could it be a ford egr,valve seals,rings etc. Or all the aftermarket exhaust companies? Who really knows why, everyone has a opinion and none of us are sure we are right.Only thing if we choose to mod our Pre 2003 cars we should check,condition of bore,valve seals,clean parts before install,EGR's etc,leak down test! Yes even bore scope. Lets face the facts up till 2003 4v motors are not what we expected,from H.P. to weird problems.Yes Ford Did Warranty Valve seals,
pistons & even complete Motors!! Again none of us know for sure why! ps I sold my 98 Cobra with out any mod's and it used 1qt every 400 miles.I still own 3 Mustangs & a Lightning,no pre 2003 cobra again.
